Someone please reply. Can't stop thinking about whether I'm just going out with him for his looks and things are getting serious... :(
I met this guy at a club a month ish ago, and we really clicked. Got each other's socials, been messaging fairly consistently ever since. I am normally super scared of relationships bc of my OCD. He is super handsome, and pretty much has the exact personality I'm looking for. But I KEEP thinking, "if he wasn't that handsome, I wouldn't have pursued it" and overthinking and feeling guilty, even though that isn't even what happened. We kept messaging, but his looks weren't why, I just liked him. However, recently, our conversations have been running a bit dry simply because we've been talking so much. I really hated this because conversation is super important to me, but because I'm super attracted to him phsyically I encouraged him to come down to where I live (his friends live in the same city, so he's come to see everyone basically) so we could go on a date. Is this morally wrong? I feel guilty. My mum said there's nothing wrong with thinking someone is attractive and wanting to go out with them, but it still stresses me out - because I was feeling extremely bummed because of the conversation but his looks pushed me to ask him out. Some part of me knows this is probably natural and I'm probably overthinking, but I feel so bad about it. The date went really well BTW. I remember sitting in the park and listening to him talk and my belly got all fluttery and I felt an overwhelming sense of happiness - and we cuddled when we got home. I just feel guilty that his looks played a large part in me actually asking him out. And also, while in person it's better, he doesn't live here, so we'll have to go back to online again where the conversation isn't as good. Same thing happened when he got back to his friends house and texted me, just dry, and I don't like it. So I do really feel like I'm using him. Very confused. Just got done crying and stuff. Idk what to do. Should I just cut it off? The thing is I can recognise OCD patterns here. The overthinking, and never getting a good answer so I'm trapped in a loop, and eventually feeling like I have to do the compulsion (cutting it off) - but it still feels so real. Arrrgh :(
